Análise da Coleta de Resíduos Sólidos e Aplicação da Economia Circular no Município de João Pessoa – Paraíba.

Abstract

The predominant economic model in the world scenario is the linear one, where as a great evil result has the generation of solid waste in increasingly alarming numbers. This whole scenario becomes more complex when we have the estimate that in the year 2080 the planet will be home to about 10.4 billion humans. Natural resources are finite, and to use them requires all the planning, from extraction to the end of the useful life of a device, for example. In the city of João Pessoa some measures are adopted to manage such urban solid waste, being governed by the National Politician for Solid Waste and also by State and Municipal plans. The solution proposed to control and make better use of resources is the application of Circular Economy, where in this model through two aspects that would be recycling and redesign it is possible to achieve a responsible use that preserves natural resources. Some mechanisms such as Selective Waste Collection and Reverse Logistics are used to achieve one more efficiency in recycling and are also used as initial applications of Circular Economy. The creation of laws that generate an increase in individual waste separation can present great results, but every measure needs the support of society to be successful in the end. According to data from the city only 13% of the neighborhoods have the Selective Waste Collection system. In research conducted by this work it was possible to observe that 48% of respondents do the separation and collaborate to the Selective Collection. With this, to achieve a better use of resources through the Circular Economy is necessary the participation of the public and private spheres, in addition to the change of habit and support of society along the ideas formulated.
